states. so, i mean, that's who he was. so i think governor romney now that people see who he is, i think they're going to find a very intelligent, very engaged, very committed man who is the perfect choice for a period of time in which we have to revive the economy. i couldn't think of a better set of credentials to deal with the economy. so maybe the personal part won't become as important. >> as you know, this is the time where a candidate who is lesser known obviously than the president of the united states does begin to define himself, and there's equal pushback at this point from the obama re-election campaign trying to help mitt romney define himself. one of the things that the former governor of massachusetts has kind of taken off the table and something you criticized in 2008 as well as earlier is his role as governor of massachusetts. you criticized him on spending. you criticized him on taxes. you criticized him on health care when he was governor of massachusetts. you know all thos
